Since 1979 I have been in the tide of the times

Chapter 178

Wang Weidong originally planned to travel with his children, but all the old people in the family objected.Wang Weidong had no choice but to take Chen Jihong from Harbin to Shanghai by train. He planned to travel to the capital when he came back.

Before setting off, Wang Weidong bought a Seagull brand camera and practiced film loading and photography all afternoon.

The two of them took a hard sleeper to the Shanghai Stock Exchange, and after leaving the train station, the two of them took a taxi and stayed in a mid-range hotel on Yuyuan Road.

"We are rich!" Wang Weidong said.

The two were sitting in a taxi just now, and Wang Weidong asked the driver to recommend a better hotel.The driver directly pulled the two of them to the entrance of Ruijin Hotel.

When Wang Weidong was about to go inside, Chen Jihong firmly held him back.From the outside, this hotel is definitely not ordinary.

Chen Jihong ignored Wang Weidong's dissatisfaction and sorted out the clothes by himself.Wang Weidong walked to the window and looked down from the second floor.

Dozens of people stood diagonally opposite the hotel, and some people kept coming in and out from inside.

From the gap between the trees, Wang Weidong vaguely saw the words "center" on the signboard.

Seeing Chen Jihong finished packing, Wang Weidong took her downstairs for dinner, and the two of them walked into a small restaurant next to the hotel.

Wang Weidong saw an old man come in and asked for half a basket of buns and a bowl of porridge. Seeing the size and quantity of the buns, he decisively ordered three baskets of buns.

After sitting down, Wang Weidong looked across the street. Only then did he see clearly that the sign he saw upstairs just now said "Study Abroad Center".

People in Shanghai stock market are thought-leading. Since the early 80s, they have started to study abroad or work part-time to earn money.

An old lady came in with a stack of papers, her eyes lit up when she saw two young men, Wang Weidong and Chen Jihong.

She came over and asked, "Young man, do you want information? It's fifty cents a piece, and there are dozens of Japanese schools on it, all of which are true!"

Since she said it was true, it means there are false ones.

Wang Weidong took out [-] cents from his pocket and handed it to the old lady. The old lady handed two pages of documents to Wang Weidong.

Seeing that there was no one else in the small restaurant, the old lady went out again with a stack of materials.

Wang Weidong looked at the documents in his hand while eating buns.

The two pages were densely packed with admissions information from dozens of Japanese schools, mostly from various language schools.

At this moment a man of about thirty walked across the street into the small restaurant.

Seeing someone coming in again, the old lady selling materials immediately followed.

"Young man, buy a copy of the information, it's all true, it's not a lie!" said the old lady.

"I just came out of the Study Abroad Center. I bought a seat from you at the Private Immigration Service Center yesterday morning. Have you forgotten?" said the young man.

"There are too many people, I can't remember. So you are going abroad to make a lot of money?" The old lady asked with a smile.

"I'm picking a better school, and my family is helping me borrow money. Who can have so much money?" the young man replied.

The smile on his face was a bit bitter, money is not so easy to borrow.

The old lady sat down and rested her feet and said: "More than 3 yuan is a lot, but you can make a lot of money in Japan! The salary is 50 times that of here! In a few years, you can come back with [-] million yuan!"

When Wang Weidong finished eating a basket of steamed buns, the old lady stood up with the materials and rushed across the street. Several young people stood at the entrance of the study abroad center, who were her potential customers.

Wang Weidong turned to look at the young man at the next table and said, "Are you going to study in Japan?"

The young man nodded and did not speak.

"Is it easy to study in Japan now? Which university do you plan to study in?" Wang Weidong asked persistently.

The young man didn't answer Wang Weidong's question, but instead asked, "Are you from Northeast China by your accent?"

Wang Weidong nodded.

"I was an educated youth and stayed in Baoquanling for four years. Most of the students studying abroad now go to language schools to study. In fact, they are all rushing to find jobs there to make money." The young man explained.

Only then did he smile at Wang Weidong.

"Just now the old lady queued up outside the private immigration service center to occupy a seat at night, and sold the seat for two yuan in the morning. The service center only handles the business of the first 300 people every day, so there are many people buying a seat for two yuan. Take a break in the morning, and come out in the afternoon to sell study materials to make money." said the young man.

Shanghai stock market people really have brains and are very good at making money.

"It's hard to say that the work in Japan is thirty times that of here, but my neighbor's son went out for a year, and the family borrowed more than 2 yuan for his study. It is inevitable to make money in Japan. Who doesn't want to go now?" , What are you afraid of borrowing money? Your relatives know that you are going abroad to make money, as long as you have money, you can borrow it, and at worst, give more when you pay back the money." The young man continued.

"Have you found the right school now?" Wang Weidong asked.

At this time, the young man had already finished eating the buns and walked up to Wang Weidong.

He picked up the information in Wang Weidong's hand and turned to the second page, pointing to the name of a school on it, and said, "This is the school, Asuka School in Akan Town. This school does not need a guarantor. I will send the application for studying abroad in no time." I just received the entry visa! And the school pays only after the visa is received, so you don’t have to worry about being cheated.”

Before leaving, the young man said to Wang Weidong: "I am in my early thirties now, and it will be too late if I don't work hard. I have suffered hardships over there for a few years and earned hundreds of thousands. I am a person who came back from the Great Northern Wilderness. Am I afraid of suffering?" ? Even if you go there and ask me to carry a dead person, I will do it!"

His words speak out the aspirations of those who have gone abroad or are planning to go abroad.This generation and previous generations are not afraid of hardship, they are all tried and tested people.

As long as there is enough reward, suffering is nothing at all.

Wang Weidong and Chen Jihong stayed in Shanghai for a week and then came to Beijing by train.

In the evening, Wang Weidong made a call with the phone number Ou Xiaoyang had left for him.

When Ou Xiaoyang recognized Wang Weidong's voice, he said pleasantly: "Weidong, you came back from Shanghai? What? Are you in the capital now? Which hotel, tell me right away, I'll go find you now!"

Wang Weidong looked puzzled when he put down the phone.

It's normal for Ou Xiaoyang to be enthusiastic about him, but his tone is too enthusiastic, and he still has to come to see him after nine o'clock in the evening, which is a bit abnormal.

Half an hour later, Ou Xiaoyang arrived at the hotel. He went to the door of Wang Weidong's room and knocked on the door.

Seeing Wang Weidong open the door, Ou Xiaoyang held Wang Weidong's hand affectionately.

"Weidong, I just came back from Harbin. Your parents said you went on a trip. I didn't expect you to call me two days after I came back." Ou Xiaoyang said.

"You didn't come here specifically to find me, did you?" Wang Weidong asked sharply.

"I'm just looking for you! There's a good deal, a big deal! A few friends and I want to buy a batch of goods to go over there. You know everyone over there, and you can make a lot of money by shipping them there!" Ou Xiaoyang said happily.
